Manny Who?
That expression is probably going to stick around for a while!
Game 1: Angels 1, Red Sox 4.
I suppose more than anything, this is a confidence builder. A confidence builder for a team whose reaction upon hearing about Beckett's delayed start was "oh, sh**". An assurance that while having Beckett would be nice, they have it in themselves to believe in their own skill as well as in their team as a whole.
Or maybe they didn't want to be the one to muck it up for the pitcher, no matter who it was. And probably least of all for their most solid lefthander, however young he is.
Regardless, this was a win that this fan is grateful for, to kick start the postseason. And a pleasing reminder that our homegrown kids have it in them to pull it off, with or without the star players. Finally, that they are the ones who make watching ball fun.
Oh, by the way, Bay, thank you.

It was a great line, and with Bay getting a big hit so early in the series that could really take the pressure off him and let him go on to a really big series -- we'll see, but meanwhile, Lester was outstanding. Great game all around.
